Morning @simisweets... I just about posted too. Think people are reacting to last nights news first.
Cycle/month: 5/6 CD/DPO: 7dpo Timing: -2, 0
Testing plans: 12dpo, Sunday the 21st our 2nd anniversary! Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: possible I'm only 5dpo but as timing is the same I'm going with my gut and keeping Research method ff set up for now GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? What is not to love? Cooler weather (well eventually anyway in Ga it's still pretty warm), FOOTBALL!!!, Beautiful trees/leaves, just love it!
Testing plans: none Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Just waiting for my period GTKY - What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)?: The leaves changing color
Testing plans: BFNs yesterday and today with FRER (equate brand). Is it still too early, even for early tests? I need some hope. Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Nothing really. Yesterday my vagina smelled bad and I thought maybe it was a weird pregnancy thing, but now I think the dog pulled my underwear out of the dirty laundry and my ever so helpful son put it back...in the clean laundry basket. So that's my embarrassing story for the day. You're all welcome. GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? The smells. Smells of the trees, the nuts, the leaves, and of course all the candles in the store. I ordered 7 new scentsy bars last week. I was out of control.
Thanks @simisweets! That photo makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Cycle/month: 3 CD/DPO: 26/13 Timing: mediocre
Testing plans: If no AF this weekend. Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Just waiting around for AF really. Quite pleased my PMS symptoms were better this month than last, where I thought cramps might have been kidney stones. Pas bon. GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? There is nothing about autumn I dislike. But specifically, my favorite thing is the 200 ft tall maple tree in my backyard. It produces the most brilliant red leaves that turn our yard into a wonderland. They're almost too pretty to rake up (almost).

Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: my chart seems legit, I may have actually O'd! I was hesitant to post here as this month has been the wonkiest month I have had since started to chart!
GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? I love the sweater and jeans look of fall. They are my favorite clothes to wear!

Testing plans: 10DPO for starting Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: I can now officially say I know my #1 post-ovulation symptom: pimples. Lots of little red bastards that arrive en masse on DPO1. I think this might be an even more accurate sign them my temp shift. Otherwise, I'm just going crazy because I've calculated that if this is our month, my EDD based on my O date would be DH's birthday. That's a sign right? Shit, the crazy train is in the station.

Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Had a dip today, but it's still above the coverline. Hoping it's just a fluke, but preparing myself mentally to expect AF soon.

Hi! I'm new, but have been lurking for awhile...I thought here would be as good a place as any to jump in??
Cycle/month: I don't quite understand the notation for this, so forgive my wordiness...this is our second cycle of actually timing things (based on CM, I suck at temping). Haven't been using any forms of birth control for 16 months thought. CD/DPO: CD41/8DPO? As I said above, I suck at temping but am working on it. Timing: -3, +5. I was hit with a wicked cold this cycle and I think I ovulated pretty late, if at all? Sexy times were few and far between, as you can see, haha.
Testing plans: I'm really not expecting a BFP this cycle, so I'm pretty much just waiting for AF to show up.
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Meh, nothing really to note. GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? The dip in temperature at night.
Cycle/month: 2/2 : First month charting, 2nd TTC ( also my first post!) CD/DPO: 20/6 Timing: -3, 0,+2
Testing plans: Not sure yet, going to try and wait till at least 12 DPO Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms:
This is my first month charting and O came a few days earlier then FF originally predicted. So far so good I think. I wish our timing was a bit better, but next cycle I will know to expect O a bit early. GTKY:
What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at
all)? We hike a lot and the crisp fall air makes it my favorite time to hike. I also love boots and layers.
Cycle/month:
2/2 CD/DPO: 28/13 Timing: Apparently not good enough Testing plans: None Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Blech. Spotting this morning. I know it's early in the process but I'm still sad. I'm going to wallow today and eat some cheeseburgers and move on tomorrow. GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? I can't stop love titing things in this thread, I love all the things. Cider, donuts, apple picking, football, leaves, sweater weather, riding boots, bonfires. Everyone has such good answers

Testing plans: Not before 12 DPO Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Dipped just a scootch below the cover line today. Of course, the first thing I did was check my BFP chart from DS to see if I had an implantation dip. I didn't, so that's keeping the crazy at bay, thank goodness. GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? Running through crunchy leaves and sleeping with the windows open.
Cycle/month: 7/7 CD/DPO: CD 31/12 DPO Timing: good
Testing plans: AF was due yesterday so now I'm waiting until the end of the week to POAS
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: sore boobs, trouble sleeping, no appetite, small cramping GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? Probably fresh local apples
LDW176 Ask me what the worst thing about fall is and it's the 7 huge trees in my yard that dump 70 yard bags full of leaves! They are definitely pretty.. until they fall lol.
@goldenlove3 last year we intentionally did not rake our leaves because we used our backyard for wedding photos. Apologize for the momentary AW, but one of my fave parts of fall is actually this pic haha.
Testing plans: in two weeks Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: First half of this cycle went fast; hoping the same feeling for the TWW period of time so I don't board the crazy train (I always do, maybe I should stop kidding myself). GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? No mosquitoes after the first frost and beautiful warm days with cool nights.
Testing plans: next week Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: I just don't like my low temps right now. Except for Saturday, they are all barely above the cover line. That doesn't necessarily mean anything bad, does it? GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? Everything! Cooler temps, warm clothes, college football, pumpkin flavored everything...
Testing plans: Maybe tonight if AF doesn't show...or tomorrow morning. Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: The past two days have been so hard not to test. AF is taunting me, just come already. I wish I knew better how long my average LP is. I haven't charted enough yet. GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? All things pumpkin! I especially love trader's joes pumpkin bread mix. Delish.
Welcome @sandcastlesinthesand -- Cycle/month indicates how many cycles you have been trying for / and how many months that equates to. For some women, this number will be the same ex: 6/6 but for others with shorter or longer cycles it may read more as 6/4 etc... Hope this helps.
Welcome @millegirl -- i forgot about boots until you mentioned it. Will have to go shopping for a new pair if AF shows
@shmurrow06 if you take out that one super spike, your temps look like they are steadily rising. Could be good, could be nothing as implantation does not occur until at least 7 DPO so the first week after O you just want temps above cover!

Testing plans: None anymore. BFN this morning and huge temp drop. Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: I was so hopeful this cycle. I was really hoping I would be a first cycle bfp because that would be awesome since it took 16 months to get my daughter. My temp drop, cramps and BFNs are saying otherwise. It also sucks because DH is out of town all of my next cycle. I will be going to see him but it will most likely be right before my fertile window hits. The plus side to this is that I now have 2 months to get to my ideal weight/body type before getting pregnant. GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? The beautiful colors!
My DH was away for my FW this cycle too. It was very frusterating. I pulled some pretty hilarious Hail Mary sex the night he got back, busting out lingerie that was WAY too fancy for a Tuesday, but I needed to ensure that I was more appealing than sleep after a 20+ hour flight home from Macedonia.
"She had a lively, playful disposition, which delighted in anything ridiculous"
Cycle/month: 2/1 CD/DPO: 27/10 Timing: -3 AI Testing plans: If I absolutely cannot hold out, may tomorrow. Otherwise, sometime this weekend if AF doesn't show by Friday. Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: I wouldn't call these symptoms, but, I have been having dreams about peeing on huge HPT's that come up positive. There is nothing else in the dream. Just a huge HPT the size of an office building. Strange. GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? I love the cooler weather (especially after this three digit heat wave we are having here in San Diego), and being able to cook comfort food. :-??
I've seen those statistics, but aren't they for the regular pregnancy tests as opposed to the stronger early detection ones? Or are they an overall overage?
I've seen those statistics, but aren't they for the regular pregnancy tests as opposed to the stronger early detection ones? Or are they an overall overage?
I'm pretty sure that is the average. Personally, I try to wait until I am past my normal LP for the best accuracy. Are you temping/charting?
Not really, just using OPKs and keeping track of my cycle on the calendar. If I'm not pregnant this cycle I think I'll start. I have no self-control when it comes to POAS. It's pathetic, really.
Ladies, I logged on to see some bfps! What gives, universe? I'm so sorry for the BFNs everyone. I have managed to stave off the desire to POAS so far because I don't want to see that bfn staring at me.
Cycle 4
Cd 24/9dpo
Timing:good
Testing plans: Monday or Tuesday most likely. I'm going out of town, visiting family Friday so hopefully I can avoid POAS until I get back Sunday.
Symptoms: none. I woke up at 5 an thinking i was going to puke, but it's way too early for anything like that. Been nauseous on and off all day. I didn't get morning sickness with my first until I was 8 weeks on. I hope I'm not getting sick.
This week can not end soon enough! Fx for everyone.
@meg_2006 - Sorry about the BFN. I would recommend you start charting, so you have a better idea of when to POAS. The costs of tests can add up quickly if you aren't using cheapies!
@sandcastlesinthesand - Welcome. Feel free to count your cycles however you want! I don't count the first year of trying because my body took forever to regulate after BCP. Keep up the temping and it will become second nature in the mornings.
@juliaandco - Welcome! Your cycle is regular...until it's not. Have you thought about charting anyways?
Cycle/month: 6 CD/DPO: 27 / 7 Timing: High
Testing plans: This weekend sometime Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Boobs hurt, that's normal. Skin broke out a couple days ago, but I think that is from my high stress level last week. GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? Football and perfect weather
Good afternoon ladies! Sorry for all the BFNs this morning.
Cycle: 5AL
CD/DPO: 22/9
Timing: good enough I hope
Testing plans: Friday morning
Rants/Raves: Not feeling too good. Mostly stomach problems the past couple of days. Although, DH is driving me crazy. Our critters have been all about the snuggles with me all the time lately, and he will casually mention that it seems familiar, referring to when I was pregnant earlier this year. Which of course puts me on the crazy train...
GTKY: I LOVE fall! However, here in the dessert we have to go hunting for the beautiful fall colors which we be here closer to Halloween for us. I can't wait to take photos in the fall colors this year!
Rants/Raves: Just still my sinuses killing me. Literally. I am on no allergy meds and this is ridiculous.
GTKY: I live by the beach in SoCal so fall is meh to me. No color changes, and I hate that even on nice days, when the sun goes down it gets cold (well, cold to me!).
Hello all! This is my first post here (or on any TTC blog for that matter, lol), as this is our first cycle TTGP!! So let's hope I get this right.
Cycle/month: 1/1 CD/DPO: 23/5 Timing: -2, 0, 1
Testing plans: Already had one BFN (duh, lol), planning to wait until at least 12 DPO and then until AF shows her face Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: OMG I think I've had just about every PMS/preggers symptom under the sun, minus the sore boobs! Although I only ever had the sore boobs when I first started the BCP, and haven't had them at all since I've stopped, so idk about that one. However, I've been charting since May (2nd cycle after I stopped the pill) and haven't had ANY PMS symptoms since then, sooooo hopefully this is the real thing??? GTKY: My favorite thing about Autumn is that one special day where I get an extra hour of sleep. Other than that, the cooler weather is ok, but being a Texas girl, I LIVE for the heat!
@carmenrenise - you think you're having pregnancy symptoms as 5DPO? And you've already POAS? You do understand that the fertilized egg hasn't even implanted yet, meaning there is no release of hormones that could cause pregnancy symptoms? Even if you are going to get pregnant this cycle, there is no way you're pregnant yet.
Cycle/month: 5/5 CD/DPO: 20/4 Timing: -3, -1, O, +1
Testing plans: September 26 Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: This has been a very strange cycle. My temps have been lower all around. So normally post-O I'm at least 98.0. This cycle most of my post-O temps are 97.9ish. Because my pre-O temps were lower than normal, there's still a definite thermal shift, but the whole thing gives me a bad feeling for this month. GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? The pickings! Apple picking, pumpkin picking - basically I love tromping through fields for produce.
Cycle: 5 CD/DPO: 27/6? (I really have no idea...still trying to figure my fallopian tubes out) Timing: ED
Testing plans: not thinking about testing this month. I'm just going to expect my period (and then when it doesn't happen, I'll be a little less upset than the last 4 months). Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: One ultrasound picture sent to me, and two baby girls born two days apart. Which means shopping at Osh Kosh B'Gosh with babies and baby clothes everyone. Stop it! Just stop it! Ohhh ya and turning 30 in 6 days. Which sucks! GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? Well my birthday is the first day of fall. So presents, of course!
Welcome. This is not a blog. At 5 DPO, nothing has happened in your uterus, so please calm down with the testing and the symptoms. You will only drive yourself crazy.
Thanks for the "helpful" advice, ladies. As I explained, I am new to this (both the FORUM and charting), so bear with me please. This is a pretty exciting time for hubby and I, so excuse me if I seem to be jumping the gun a bit. And in case you missed the "duh", I figured testing at 5 DPO would give me diddly squat, but decided to go for it anyway. Not a complete idiot. Hope y'all have a great evening.
I'm new here so I figured this would be the best time to chime in!
Cycle/month:1/1 CD/DPO: 24/7 Timing: -8, -5, -2
Testing plans: no unless AF doesn't show up Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: We just started trying to get pregnant, so I've been trying out fertility charts. Found Fertility Friend around O time so our timing may have been off. Fingers still crossed! GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? FOOTBALL SEASON!! And all the fall decorations and cooler nights! My favorite time of year.
@sandcastlesinthesand@millegirl@Nicole2006 Welcome! Just so you know, you're only fertile the day you ovulate and the 5 days before O, so it's kind of pointless to list +2 ,+5 or -8 in your timing. FF recommends having sex the day after you think you ovulated, just in case you didn't really ovulate. But once you show a temp spike, it's pretty much already too late. Make sure you check out the newbie blog if you haven't already. Lots of good information can be found there! GL!

CD/DPO: 15/Today
Timing: -5,-4,-3,-1
Testing plans: in two weeks
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: First half of this cycle went fast; hoping the same feeling for the TWW period of time so I don't board the crazy train (I always do, maybe I should stop kidding myself).
GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? No mosquitoes after the first frost and beautiful warm days with cool nights.
CD/DPO: 29/6
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Testing plans: next week
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: I just don't like my low temps right now. Except for Saturday, they are all barely above the cover line. That doesn't necessarily mean anything bad, does it?
GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? Everything! Cooler temps, warm clothes, college football, pumpkin flavored everything...
CD/DPO: 32/14
Timing: Bad.
Testing plans: Maybe tonight if AF doesn't show...or tomorrow morning.
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: The past two days have been so hard not to test. AF is taunting me, just come already. I wish I knew better how long my average LP is. I haven't charted enough yet.
GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? All things pumpkin! I especially love trader's joes pumpkin bread mix. Delish.
@lgsdesigner -- your chart looks great. FX!
@goldenlove3 -- GL at the RE! glad i'm not the only one who loves those donuts
@yogikc0519 & @kellybenelly83 - sorry for your BFNs
@LDW176 -- your maple is beautiful. awesome photo. hope we both get BFPs this weekend.
@sammic217 - FX it's just a momentary dip!
Welcome @sandcastlesinthesand -- Cycle/month indicates how many cycles you have been trying for / and how many months that equates to. For some women, this number will be the same ex: 6/6 but for others with shorter or longer cycles it may read more as 6/4 etc... Hope this helps.
Welcome @millegirl -- i forgot about boots until you mentioned it. Will have to go shopping for a new pair if AF shows
@mandy522 - sorry for your spotting
@catwine - congrats on being late! FX for a BFP!

BFP 9/29/26 EDD June 11
My DH was away for my FW this cycle too. It was very frusterating. I pulled some pretty hilarious Hail Mary sex the night he got back, busting out lingerie that was WAY too fancy for a Tuesday, but I needed to ensure that I was more appealing than sleep after a 20+ hour flight home from Macedonia.
Welcome! @juliaandco & @sandcastlesinthesand
Cycle/month: 2/1
CD/DPO: 27/10
Timing: -3 AI
Testing plans: If I absolutely cannot hold out, may tomorrow. Otherwise, sometime this weekend if AF doesn't show by Friday.
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: I wouldn't call these symptoms, but, I have been having dreams about peeing on huge HPT's that come up positive. There is nothing else in the dream. Just a huge HPT the size of an office building. Strange.
GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? I love the cooler weather (especially after this three digit heat wave we are having here in San Diego), and being able to cook comfort food.

My BFP Chart
Cycle 4
Cd 24/9dpo
Timing:good
Testing plans: Monday or Tuesday most likely. I'm going out of town, visiting family Friday so hopefully I can avoid POAS until I get back Sunday.
Symptoms: none. I woke up at 5 an thinking i was going to puke, but it's way too early for anything like that. Been nauseous on and off all day. I didn't get morning sickness with my first until I was 8 weeks on. I hope I'm not getting sick.
This week can not end soon enough! Fx for everyone.
CD/DPO: 27 / 7
Timing: High
Testing plans: This weekend sometime
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: Boobs hurt, that's normal. Skin broke out a couple days ago, but I think that is from my high stress level last week.
GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? Football and perfect weather
Thanks for the welcome, everyone!
My Ovulation Chart
Cycle: 5AL
CD/DPO: 22/9
Timing: good enough I hope
Testing plans: Friday morning
Rants/Raves: Not feeling too good. Mostly stomach problems the past couple of days. Although, DH is driving me crazy. Our critters have been all about the snuggles with me all the time lately, and he will casually mention that it seems familiar, referring to when I was pregnant earlier this year. Which of course puts me on the crazy train...
GTKY: I LOVE fall! However, here in the dessert we have to go hunting for the beautiful fall colors which we be here closer to Halloween for us. I can't wait to take photos in the fall colors this year!
Cycle: 4
CD/DPO: 18/2
Timing: -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,O,+1
Testing plans: End of next week
Rants/Raves: Just still my sinuses killing me. Literally. I am on no allergy meds and this is ridiculous.
GTKY: I live by the beach in SoCal so fall is meh to me. No color changes, and I hate that even on nice days, when the sun goes down it gets cold (well, cold to me!).
CD/DPO: 23/5
Timing: -2, 0, 1
Testing plans: Already had one BFN (duh, lol), planning to wait until at least 12 DPO and then until AF shows her face
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: OMG I think I've had just about every PMS/preggers symptom under the sun, minus the sore boobs! Although I only ever had the sore boobs when I first started the BCP, and haven't had them at all since I've stopped, so idk about that one. However, I've been charting since May (2nd cycle after I stopped the pill) and haven't had ANY PMS symptoms since then, sooooo hopefully this is the real thing???
GTKY: My favorite thing about Autumn is that one special day where I get an extra hour of sleep.
Looking forward to posting more often!
CD/DPO: 20/4
Timing: -3, -1, O, +1
Testing plans: September 26
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: This has been a very strange cycle. My temps have been lower all around. So normally post-O I'm at least 98.0. This cycle most of my post-O temps are 97.9ish. Because my pre-O temps were lower than normal, there's still a definite thermal shift, but the whole thing gives me a bad feeling for this month.
GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? The pickings! Apple picking, pumpkin picking - basically I love tromping through fields for produce.
CD/DPO: 27/6? (I really have no idea...still trying to figure my fallopian tubes out)
Timing: ED
Testing plans: not thinking about testing this month. I'm just going to expect my period (and then when it doesn't happen, I'll be a little less upset than the last 4 months).
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: One ultrasound picture sent to me, and two baby girls born two days apart. Which means shopping at Osh Kosh B'Gosh with babies and baby clothes everyone. Stop it! Just stop it! Ohhh ya and turning 30 in 6 days. Which sucks!
GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? Well my birthday is the first day of fall. So presents, of course!
@Carmenrenise
Welcome. This is not a blog. At 5 DPO, nothing has happened in your uterus, so please calm down with the testing and the symptoms. You will only drive yourself crazy.
CD/DPO: 24/7
Timing: -8, -5, -2
Rant/rave/chart stalk/symptoms: We just started trying to get pregnant, so I've been trying out fertility charts. Found Fertility Friend around O time so our timing may have been off. Fingers still crossed!
GTKY: What's your favorite thing about autumn (that is if you like it at all)? FOOTBALL SEASON!! And all the fall decorations and cooler nights! My favorite time of year.
